METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER READABLE MEDIA FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADDING INDIVIDUALS AND PHYSICAL CONFERENCE ROOMS TO CONFERENCES IN VIRTUAL CONFERENCE ROOMS

A method for automatically adding individuals and physical conference rooms to conferences in virtual conference rooms includes providing a communicator application through which a host can add one or more individuals and/or one or more physical conference rooms to a conference in a virtual conference room. A meeting room application through which individuals and physical conference rooms can be automatically joined to the conference in the virtual conference room is also provided. The method further includes receiving, via the communicator application, input from the host to add one or more of the individuals and/or one or more of the physical conference rooms to the conference in the virtual conference room. The method further includes signaling, via one or more media servers, to join the one or more individuals and/or the one or more physical conference rooms to the conference in the virtual conference room. The one or more individuals and/or the one or more physical conference rooms are joined to the conference in the virtual conference room without requiring interaction between the individuals and/or the physical conference room and the meeting room application.
